“…The peak gluteal pressure was greater in AIS patients compared with normal college students, which was consistent with the previous research conclusion of Kim et al [ 10 ]. This indicates that AIS put more pressure on their bodies when they performed static writing tasks.…”

“…Changes in COP measurements indicated the approach the body develops to maintain posture stability in the context of the central posture control system that was supposed to be measured by COP variability [ 9 ]. Kim et al [ 10 ] found that people with spinal deformities had a higher COP than the normal people, which indicated the people with spinal deformities had poorer posture control. Previous studies also showed that sitting control strategies in patients with scoliosis correlate with anteroposterior (AP) direction instability [ 11 , 12 ].…”

Background The posture control deficit is one important dysfunction in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients, which is related to the development of the disease. However, it is not apparent whether AIS could affect static sitting posture control in late adolescence. Objective This study aims to compare static sitting posture control in idiopathic scoliosis freshmen with normal peers to reveal possible differences in posture stability between them during writing tasks. Methods In total, there were 10 AIS patients and 11 normal college students chosen for the writing task test. Data on the distribution of gluteal pressure during sitting were gathered. The comparison between these two groups was made using the independent sample t-test. Results The total excursion (TE) of the center of pressure (COP) of the AIS group considerably increased in comparison with the control group (CON) (p = 0.029). The AIS group's average COP velocity in the anteroposterior (AP) direction was significantly higher than the CON group (p = 0.048). The peak gluteal pressure on the right side was significantly higher in the AIS group than in the CON group (p = 0.039). The right gluteal contact area dynamic variation was significantly higher in the AIS group compared to the CON group (p = 0.025). Conclusions AIS patients showed increased gluteal pressure and lower sitting posture stability during writing tasks.

“…The individual with cerebral palsy has a potentially wide range of functional limitations as a result of their condition (Beckung et al, 2008) The nature of this condition lends itself to a loss of an individual's ability to maintain postural control, and move and control muscles (CDC, 2014) Gross restriction of mobility for some of these individuals results in confinement to wheelchair. As such, this limited mobility can predicate long-term restrictions in joint movement, muscle atrophy, sensation disturbances and contractures of the lower extremities (Rosenbaum et al, 2007) Sitting in a fixed position with an inability to self-adjust posture and seating orientation is a cause for concern which can be a precursor for prolonged sitting pressures (Kim, Yoo and Do, 2017) The use of custom seating for these individuals has been shown to provide postural support through reduced trunk flexion and prevention of abnormal gluteal pressures (Yoo, 2015) We provide a case report on the function and seat pressures for an individual with cerebral palsy after prescription of an easily replicable custom seating system.…”

The person with cerebral palsy has a range of functional limitations which can restrict activities of daily living. Sitting for extended periods is a pertinent issue to address. Custom seating orthosis combined with a wheelchair could reduce issues associated with long-term sitting in this population. The custom seating system for a child with cerebral palsy GMFCS Level IV was provided and outcome measures which measured functional grasping and seat pressure distribution was evaluated while the patient was seated in a traditional wheelchair as well as the custom seating wheelchair.Time to complete tasks while seated in the custom seating wheelchair was longer in duration than when seated in the traditional wheelchair, however, pressure was reduced in pressure prone areas and distributed more across pressure tolerant areas. The custom seating system provided to this patient evidences the utility and usefulness of a customized orthotic intervention for the wheelchair intervention. Additional accommodation to the custom seating could posit differences in outcomes as would an increase in study participants.
